Flatiron School offers immersive on-campus and online programs in software engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and product design (UX/UI design). Flatiron School’s immersive courses aim to launch students into fulfilling careers by providing a robust career services framework and dedicated one-on-one coaching post graduation that is included as an added value with the tuition. 

The application process asks prospective students to share a bit about themselves and what is driving them to start a career. The process includes speaking with an Admissions representative in a non-technical interview to allow for the opportunity to get to know each other better in a friendly conversation. Applicants will also need to complete a 15-minute critical thinking and problem-solving assessment afterwards. Applicants will receive an acceptance decision from Admissions within 4 business days of completing the assessment.

Flatiron School’s Career Services team provides weekly 1:1 career coaching sessions, mock interviews, and access to an extensive employer network to help students launch fulfilling careers in tech after graduation.

Flatiron School powers the Access Scholarship which invested $1.5 million into the futures of more than 500 students across all of Flatiron School’s campuses and online courses in 2020. The Access Scholarship opens doors for aspiring innovators who may have experienced barriers to education. To build a more diverse and inclusive tech community, Flatiron School has awarded over $10 million in scholarships for women, minorities, veterans, and other underrepresented groups in tech.

Flatiron School was one of the first bootcamps in the industry and a pioneer in providing 3rd party examined job placement reports. Read their full independently-examined jobs reports at: https://flatironschool.com/jobs-reports/

    Best professional decision of my life!

    A few years ago I was a freelance writer and designer with no true technical skills to include on a resume. Now, I'm a mid-level software engineer at a large contracting company with a job that I absolutely love. To this day I am shocked that the Flatiron School was right about me. They not only taught me the necessary technical skills to build upon after I graduated, but they also identified the very things that might be blocking me from succeeding as a developer down the road - and showe...

    From English Major to Software Engineer

    A big part of my first few days at Flatiron was sharing with my classmates "What We Were Before." Most of us had been program managers, business analysts, or marketers. Some had been data scientists. One was a circus acrobat. I was an English major who, to tell the truth, had had terrible luck on the job hunt.   When I applied to Flatiron, I had only a cursory understanding of...

    Great Curriculum being Tirelessly Improvement

    As a student at the Flairon School one of the most impressive aspects was the level of commitment of my classmates and other students.  Arriving early and staying late are common and everyone is super motivated to learn as much as possible each day. I think an environment like that is actually pretty unique and difficult to find or recreate. 

    After graduation I was asked to stay on at Flatiron as an Instructor.  That experience has literally changed my life. The students I have w...

    A new trade. A new life.

    I was an Accountant for 7 years before deciding to switch careers. I had ZERO programming experience but always dreamed of becoming an iOS developer. I was obsessed with apps and I wanted to build them for myself.

    I had the choice of a few reputable coding bootcamps in NYC to choose from, I decided to go with Flatiron School. I was a part of the iOS-004 class which began in February-2015. It changed my life. It literally changed my life. From the new friends I m...

    Life-changing

    I did the web development fellowship program in 2014.

    The curriculum was excellent and prepared me very well to rejoin the workforce as software developer after not working for three years. I had about three distinct job offers upon graduation and worked at Dow Jones and Kickstarter since. Stongly recommend ! Best learning experience of my life.

    The Flatiron School Changed My Life

    Deciding to attend The Flatiron School was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that forever changed my life. 

    From Day 1, I knew my class was in for something special. I’ve literally never seen such a deep level of caring, anywhere. Everything we did at Flatiron was carefully crafted to ensure we got the most out of the program, and that we learned in the most optimal way possible. There was meticulo...

    Lessons learned for life

    My time at Flatiron School was excellent, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone considering applying. When I signed up for the web developer course, my only goal at the time was simply to learn Ruby. After 12 weeks, I got so much more than that. Two takeaways I want to share with you: 1. You can do so much more when you work with your team. Flatiron School provided a positive and supportive environment for students to collaborate on projects together. Think about it: no company...

    Hello! I am a graduate of the 2013 Fall Web Development immersive, and I also worked for a year and a half as an Instructor, so I am one of several that has experienced Flatiron School from both a student perspective and an instructor perspective.

    Notes From A Recent Flatiron Grad

    I graduated from Flatiron's Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp (online/remote program) about 3 weeks ago and I have already had interest from potential employers. 

    I strongly recommend the Flatiron program to anyone who is serious about learning to code. I am not a STEM person, I came from an arts and humanities background and I found the Flatiron curriculum to be fun (and often very challenging) but always instructive. The instructors were always available to answer my questions ...

    Best investment i ever made

    Very efficient way to teach people how to code by using hands-on approach and collaboration. Turns out, 3 month in enough to get skills to be able to solve complex tech problems at work. Mostly it comes from the fact that they not only teach specific tech topics, but how to solve problems in general.

    Job placement is great, the students are expected to do their part (i.e. building projects and writing tech blog) and the school does a great job matching students with companies.

    Online Full Stack Web Development

    Flatiron's online full stack web development porogram was the curriculum I needed to transition from a career in financial services to a career in tech. 

    I did a number of online resources prior to discovering Flatiron and found the curriculum to be top notch and I was grateful for the way it was structured. It does a great job at building on top of previous lessons and is a great way to reinforce learning. 

    Another great thing about Flatiron's online program is the awe...
